Registration Re-Direct

[Brian]

In v2 I cant seem to change the url that people are redirected to after registering. Can some one point me to the line(s) that need changed.

To explain further I want to send them to a differnt url then the default one they are sent to after they register.

Thanks :)

I'm looking for the same thing. Also when members login. I want it to redirect them to the page they came from, not just the forum.

i'm looking for the same thing when users enter their username/pass they go to another URL not the index.php

thanks

I am willing to pay some one a token fee via paypal to do this. It is just a matter of editing a few lines in member.php however I dont have the time to do it on v2, but did on v1.

I dont need anything pretty in the cp, just the lines and what to change code wize.

Where are you wanting this page to link to.. where they came from.. the forums index page... ?

Just curious.. cause I will try to see if I can find the code to change for ya... don't need paid or anything.. just curious to see this myself :)

To an external url.

Here is what I did in v1


if ($coppauser==1) {
$action="coppaform";
} else {
if ($verifyemail==1) {

eval("echo standardredirect(\$bbtitle,\"".gettemplate("error_registeremail")."\",\"http://www.linkhere.com/\");");

} else {
if ($moderatenewmembers==1) {
eval("echo standarderror(\$bbtitle,\"".gettemplate("error_moderateuser")."\");");
} else {
eval("echo standardredirect(\$bbtitle,\"".gettemplate("redirect_registerthanks")."\",\"index.php\");");
}
}
}
}

And just changed the redirect message.

Thanks for looking into this :)!!

At a quick glance at the register.php file.. here is what I see.. Well without posting the whole user if statement.. I will just add the part around where *I think* it needs changed.


if ($moderatenewmembers) {
eval("standarderror(\"".gettemplate("error_moderateuser")."\");");
} else {
$url = str_replace("\"", "", $url);
if (!$url) {
$url = "index.php?s=$session[sessionhash]";
}
eval("standardredirect(\"".gettemplate("redirect_registerthanks")."\",\"".iif(strpos($url,"register")>0,"index.php?s=$session[sessionhash]",$url)."\");");
}


see where it says : $url = "index.php?s=$session[sessionhash]";

I think in that if statement you can change that $url value to whatever you want.

$url = "http://www.somethingsomewhere.com";

or change the other values that have index.php on that page.

I could be wrong.. I will take a look at this here in a bit. Tell me what you think on this.

I was just wondering if anyone had a chance to check this out.

By the way for the person whom wanted it to redirect them to the page they came from they can simple use for a link javascript:history.go(-2) (replacing 2 with the number of pages it should take them back.

This is an easy way to do it but not the best way..

I have not had a chance to try this out myself, I might this weekend.. but did you try out what I posted.. changing that part?

[Brian]

I believe from before you have to modify a few other things although I am not positive. I will have to try it later today.

[Brian]

Has anyone had a chance to check and or try this out..
